Wherein a surgeon tells some stories, shares some thoughts, and occasionally shoots off his mouth. Like a surgeon.

A New Blog!!!

Well, I've done it. I've just created a new blog, which will become the place for my rants. Surgeonsblog, if it ever revives, will revert to what it once was -- a place for insights and information about surgery and surgeons. My new blog is where I'll froth and foam.

It's called "Cutting Through The Crap."You can find it here. There (and on this post), readers can comment if they so choose. I hope people will find their way to the new place; and I hope there'll eventually be reasons to return here as well.

I look forward to reading your new blog Dr. Schwab! I've thoroughly enjoyed reading surgeonsblog. So of course, I just had to get your book and not surprisingly, I loved it! I'd also like to thank you for continuing to share your political views. I agree with you 110%. :)

Good gods, Dr Schwab. I followed you over from Daily Kos to Cutting Through the Crap to here. Imagine my surprise to know that I know you! Jack and I both say Hi and wish you and your family all the best.

wow. You came all the way over her on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon just to say that. Wouldn't it be easier (and less laughable) just to not bother clicking at all? (See, here's how it works: you are allowed not to visit websites that annoy you. That's one of the great things about the internet.)

Dr. Schwab,I really liked your current post on your other blog (10/14, 4:00), but I'm leaving a comment on this blog because I wanted to tell you that my husband and I are having our THIRD Situs Inversus baby on Monday. Its the respiratory distress due to the (probable) Kartagener Syndrome (we assume this one will have KS because our other two children with SI have KS) that has me frightened. I'm expecting all the monitors, the oxygen, the wires, the aerosol treatments, but its been 12 years since going through it last. I know this isn't surgical, but I wondered if you knew anything that I should be aware of in regard to her treatment? And 12 years ago (with my 2nd child with SI and KS) they said that his veins had collapsed but that it sounded worse than it actually was...is it really?Thanks for any help.

Dr. Schwab,I just wanted to let you know that all is well and thank you for your good wishes. There wasn't much new, in fact I was telling the doctors how to get her better :). In two weeks she was able to stay off the oxygen for good and leave the NICU. It was the best NICU we've ever been to. Her hip was out of socket and her lung was collapsed too, bet everything got better.

I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

About Me

Boring, Unoriginal, but Important Disclaimer:

What I say here is as true as I can make it, based on my experience as a surgeon. Still, in no way is it intended as specific medical advice for any condition. For that, you need to consult your own doctors, who actually know you. I hope you'll find things of interest and amusement here; maybe useful information. But please, please, PLEASE understand: this blog ought not be used in any way to provide the reader with ideas about diagnosis or treatment of any symptoms or disease. Also, as you'd expect, when I describe patients, I've changed many personal details: age, sex, occupation -- enough to make them into no one you might actually know. Thanks, and enjoy the blog.
